Keep On Working

I've been Playing this course since its inception and it has improved my short game and precision shots to the greens, as well as my putting. Keep the tee boxes healthy, the fairways covered with grass, and the staff as super friendly and I will continue to play here. Move those flags around more often and put some liquids on the course during the hot days. I'll be back.

“Championship” Course?

The course conditions are mostly poor/fair. The tee-boxes are hard, with some just dirt and weeds. Some fairways have no grass with tractor ruts, right in the middle (holes 1&18, for example). Greens are slow, with some slight damage on the edges of most of the greens. The greens are also uneven, with some pin placements on slopes. Staff members were working on the course/greens while you were playing, so you would just have to constantly yell for them to move. The course layout is completely confusing, but if you like circus mazes, then maybe this is for you.

The fairways are pretty tight on the front 9. The back 9 opens up a bit. The par 5’s are actually pretty challenging holes - so I did find those decent, if you could deal with the conditions. Overall, probably overpriced for what you get. If you’re a military member or have access to Tinker AFB, I’d recommend playing that course, which is in much better condition for a better price.

Getting Better

THe past month's rain has nourished the overall course well. Fairways are fuller, greens are greener, and water ponds in the middle of the fairways have drained or dried, or both, out.

There is still some work to be done (traps, tee boxes, fairway fertilized, and golf shop expanded in merchandise and refreshments, but otherwise there has been progress since my last outing at the Links.

Mother Nature Contributions

Course was in fairly moderate condition. Mother Nature's rain saved the course some major energy but exposed the need for better drainage. Greens were in good condition, but tee boxes and fairways still need some work. Overall, I felt the course had improved since last month. Staff is great! Pay them more!

Links course in Norman

Good value on GolfNow, I would not have played at the course rate. Due to frequent rains it was cart path only and there were bad drainage issues on most holes and on the cart paths. Lots of people were enjoying the course and the pace of play was good. Tee boxes need a little work. Greens were in good condition considering the recent weather, they were slow which added a challenge.

The Links 6/1/25

Unfortunately, The Links was hit by rain the night before. I had paid for myself and a friend to play 18 holes with a cart. When I got there, I was informed that no carts were able to be used. No explanation was given for that. I felt that was something that could’ve been explained as I had paid for the tee time with a cart. The associate at The Links was helpful and said we could try and contact GolfNow for a refund and they could call The Links. However, we had already driven from out of town to play there. We decided to play. The course was extremely flooded, and this is not the first time I’ve encountered this with The Links even with a little bit of rain. I hope they can manage water retention better for the future. Multiple holes were nearly unplayable. I felt if carts weren’t able to be used, a discount or waived cart fee in the future would have been a fair compromise.

Poor service

Was walking only, however, cart paths were open and not hindered in any way by flooding or mud. Also we checked in at the pro shop and walked straight to the first tee. In that time the person who checked us in forgot that we checked in and accused us of sneaking onto the coarse.

Course needs attention on some of the fairways and sand traps. Erosion from the heavy rain and a poor drainage system makes it difficult to "repair" fairways and traps.

Staff is the major plus for this course. Always courteous and respectful. Hard to get this type of attitude at other courses, especially in these times.

Awful

They don’t sell alcohol at this course and didn’t have any water to drink (none on the course and none in the pro shop). The course was in terrible shape. No fairways and greens that were slow and shaggy: Tee boxes in rough shape and not flat.

Good overall

The course was flooded two days before my round. No carts allowed not even on cart path. No pull carts available at the course, have never seen that before. We decided to play even in all those circumstances. Great layout, greens ok but very poor tee boxes. Had fun playing some difficult holes, would recommend for a municipal style course.
